are we having these chapters cut up and pasted shorter or something, I have not a clue anymore and it seems like these scenes are disjointed like TL has a cut down version to force traffic to their site
seems like it's not just me who completely lost track of the plot.
I remember Souma suddenly going missing from the academy, but this 'side plot' is so long already that I'm doubting that that happened
After this many chapters, I am still a bit irked by how empty some panels looked. It feel as if the artist haven't improve their art since they start this manga. At this point, the panels with empty background seems like a stylistic choice.
